§ 72. Sir G. Foxasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Admiralty when he anticipates that it will be possible to make arrangements for the improvement of the scale of naval pensions so as to bring it into line with the increased cost of living in recent years.
Mr. DugdaleA new code of pensions was introduced with effect from 19th December, 1945. This new Code takes into account factors such as the current cost of living. Naval pensioners not entitled to new Code terms may receive substantial increases of pension under conditions similar to those of the Pensions Increase Act, and any improvements made in the new Pensions Increase Bill will apply also to Naval pensioners.
